The Astronomical Grace of God

Tonight I watched one of the most amazing dvds. It was from Louie Giglio's Indescribable tour. He spoke about how great our God is, and how great the galaxy and solar system is. He compared us to a tiny speck in the greatness in which we live. It really put everything into perspective. If God can make the Heavens and the Earth, what can't He do for me. Our God knows every star by name. One researcher said that in order for us to count the stars in our Milky Way Galaxy, it would take over 2,000 years to count all them at a rate of 1 per second. That is huge, and God cares for you and me. The following image is from the Whirlpool Galaxy. It is 31 million miles from Earth, and it is the most prominent because it is at an exact angle to the earth, so that we can see it straight on.

The next image is of the center of the Whirlpool Galaxy called the x-factor.

To me that is the amazing Grace of my God. Even in the galaxies, He is showing us His Amazing Grace from another galaxy. If He can do this, what can't He do for me.

The song "For His Glory"

Ok, maybe this time it will let me post the song. The following are the lyrics for the song. May God Bless you through this song.

Along the dusty, traveled path
Sat a lonely man whose eyes would never see
Holding out a trembling hand
Listening to each and every self-righteous decree
Then the question heard, “whose sin brought on this suffering?”
And from the Master’s lips the answer came

That our Father’s power might be shown
That the depths of mercy unimagined could be known
That he could hear Messiah’s name
From the hilltops stand and claim,
“All I know is I was blind, and now I see”
Everything, everything
It was all for His glory

Humbly, we seek Your face again
For the tiny ones riddled with such pain
For the weary hearts that cry aloud all night
From this broken world where living seems in vain
Still the question comes, “Lord, why allow such suffering?”
And from His heart, the answer’s still the same

That our Father’s power might be shown
That the depths of mercy unimagined could be known
So as rain falls on every soul
In weakness, our God makes us whole
So that we can shout, “There is a God! And my God hears my plea!”
Yeah everything, everything
It was all for His glory

Lord,I believe . . . I must believe . . . all I have is to believe
Lord I believe . . . Help me believe . . . Lord I really do believe

That our Father’s power might be shown
That the depths of mercy unimagined could be known

It was all for His glory

Prayer Works

I recently posted a prayer request for a little boy, who has survived 28 days. Awesome God. He was not supposed to make it 72 hours. Our God is awesome, and He shows us everyday. I have posted requests for prayers for my dad, and I thank you all for that. He is doing great. Also, my in-laws both recently went through some out patients surgeries, and Praise God they are doing great from them.

I am going to try and post a song to this post. It was written by Ethan's (the little boy) aunt. She wrote it for him. It is so powerful. I hope that you are lifted up by it as much as I was.

God bless you this week.
By His Grace,
Sarah
